Protecting the Environment

For Schmalz, environmental protection has long been a high-priority corporate objective and is part of our daily
working practice. Ecological considerations such as energy and resource efficiency are an integral part of product
development, the design of production processes and industrial operations.

Even in the energy sector environmental protection is part of the Schmalz tradition. Renewable energy sources
are implemented in considerable scope, and the conservation of resources forms part of our overall environmental
protection model.
A multitude of environmental awards
and our certifications according to
DIN ISO 14001 (environmental man-
agement) as well as DIN ISO 50001
(energy management) illustrate our
exemplary dedication.

As a positive energy company, Schmalz
generates more electricity and heat
from renewable sources then the com-
pany needs for itself.

Ecological trail project
With our activities, we would like to sensitize people
and raise public awareness on acting ecologically. There-
fore we present the full extent of our activities on our
ecological trail. On the trail, individuals, companies,
schools, clubs and associations can learn about a diverse
range of environmental practices and find out how to
take advantage of their positive effects.
